,ood puesser. He said yesterday, as report
al in this correspondence of that day. that
he delay of the U. S. Supreme Court in
rendering its decision IN the case of the con-
iemned anarchists of Chicago, was unfavor-
able to the prisoners, as it indicated the
of an elaborate opinion, which
would not be necessary if the court intend
ed to grant the writ of error that had been
applied for. The Court to-day, in the pres
ence of full bar and crowded audience,
through the Chief Justice, announced Its de.
cisiop, denying the application for writ OF
error. The opinion was long and elaborate.
Every point made by the prisoners counsel,
even the strained one of Genera! Bnller,
that Illinois was not State of the Union
when the treaty with Germany was ratified,
was deliberately considered and solemnly
weighed. but unanimously overruied, SO
that the condemned have now only one more
court to appeal to, and that, alas, for them,
holds its sessions ia another and better
world.

you will but think moment, you cannot
fail to remember that the cry which Malone
has evidently directed his organs and bench
men to begin, is nothing more serious than
that which has always been sent out by him
In excuse for his defeats in previous cleo
tons. He is whimperer and takes pun
ishment with such little show of true grit
and honest manhood that he must soon be-
come contemplate even in the eyes OF his
most deluded followers. He cried loudly,

him In '89. According to him little scrim'
mage 10 Danville, provoked chiefly by his
candidate for the State Senate, carried the
election against him that year by many
thousands, and he whined before Congress
aud the country until he WAS given an in
vestigation by the Senate, resulting in little
more than farce of the first water. In the
last contest for Governor, bis candidate, MIR.
Wise, declared in number of interviews
with northern papers, that he, and not Fiiz
Lee, had been elected Governor Of Virginia.
When the sun went down said he, I was
elected. and when it rosa next morning, [

should be taken from Cleveland and through
the action Of Judge Bond at Richmoud, be

Mantle and death. Even to damnation itself
nothing could be added greater than that.
Had Indiana gone for Blaine the republic
can committee at New York, acting aud
operating through Mahone, had arranged
to count the vote of Virginia for him, which,
without New York. would have given Blaine
the Presidency. All necessary prelinina-
ries for dragging the State into Judge Bond'a
court had been agreed on. Charges of fraud
against the democrats had been carefully
manufactured, and nothing but republican
and unpatriotic plot from being executed.
